Appealing to all the people of Manipur to be always wary of BJP, the MPCC president went on to claim that Congress party would be once again mandated to form a Government when election results are declared.
The ongoing election is not a battle between Congress and BJP Manipur Pradesh.
It is a battle between Congress and the Centre's BJP.
Despite desperate campaigning by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a number of Union Ministers, Congress party is never daunted and it would go on to form the next Government for the fourth time in a row, TN Haokip asserted.
The huge turnout of voters seen in the first phase reflected the people's unwavering faith in Congress party.
He then appealed to all the voters to think twice and see that there is Congress party which will always fight for the cause of the State and her people.
In spite of the volumes of baseless propaganda churned out by BJP, people still repose their faith in Congress party.
The BJP Government's demonetisation move caused immense misery to the people of the country and it did not bring anything positive, TN Haokip remarked.
He then appealed to the people of Manipur to read between the lines of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's assertion that they would get the economic blockade lifted within three days in case BJP is elected to power.
Even though that they have been outwardly acting as benevolent, the UNC's indefinite economic blockade is being imposed at the behest of BJP, he asserted.
TN Haokip then appealed to all the people and vote for Congress party in the second phase too, and root out BJP from the soil of Manipur.
Congress candidates N Loken, Dr Ng Bijoy, Kh Devendro, Kh Joykisan, RK Imo, I Ibohalbi, O Lukhoi and E Chand were also present at the press meet.
